Honors Biology - Room 5200Digital Electronics - Room 5122B

Honors biology is a high school introductory course in biology - the study of life. Honors students are exposed to a much more rigorous and demanding program than the standard high school biology class. The focus is on the core concepts of modern biology; transfer of energy, inheritance of traits, ecological change, and evolution of populations. We will examine these concepts from the molecular level to the cellular level and from the level of the organism to its ecosystem.

Digital Electronics (DE) is the third year course in the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) high school engineering curriculum. This course provides an introduction to electrical and computer engineering for high school students interested in electronics. Other than concurrent enrollment in college preparatory mathematics and science courses, this course assumes no previous knowledge.
